PostgreSQL Replication with PGCluster

"In an earlier post, I briefly mentioned the PGCluster project. PGCluster is an extension of the PostgreSQL database, designed to give it synchronous, multi-master replication. Replication is one of the areas in which PostgreSQL is lacking in comparison to other proprietary databases, such as Oracle or MS SQL Server. However, after playing around with PGCluster, I have become very impressed with its capabilities. If development continues, PGCluster could offer a sound solution to a very important problem that large enterprises will encounter if they wish to role out PostgreSQL in a high-availability situation."
